Can wt loss after surgery improve nonspecific allergy problems?

I never had any allergy problems until about 18 mo ago. I developed a severe swelling of the throat, mouth and face in general. After almost weekly trips to the ER, I finally got in to see an allergy specialist. After many tests, they still don't know what the allergy is to - perhaps related to a past illness or stress(?). So I am on several kinds of daily maintainence drugs (so glad i have insurance). I felt (perhaps being paranoid) that he may have thought it was due to my obesity - that's what every problem boils down too with drs- right? I am hoping to have WLS in the next 6 mo. and wonder if any WLS patients might have had stress-related allergies that went away after they lost weight?
